An Outdoor Banner Series
out there is a series of banners on the exterior of the Thunder Bay Art Gallery.
This project is a platform for new images, stories, and moments by new creative voices. Each banner is a bold canvas for artists, designers, and makers who experiment with new media, take new paths in artistic careers and claim space beyond traditional art gallery walls.
Be out there.

produced in Microsoft Word, digital print on vinyl, 8′ x 16′, 2015.
About the work
“FLSC1W40H is the first digital carpet I created and a bit of a mystery. When I first started experimenting in Microsoft Word, I didn’t have the intention of creating textile-inspired artworks. Recently, I re-discovered this piece while looking deep in computer folders. It’s a crucial piece in how my digital textile and carpet works began.”
